Superman...This post just made me realize something.<br />Superman (so far as we know) has no Elder Statesman in his Dynasty.<br /><br />Except he actually does. Look at Supes saying that Vartox was doing the hero thing when Clark was in diapers. Vartox was Superman's "always somebody better" guy. Vartox is like, one of the five persons in the universe more powerful than silver-age Superman and has a list of powers that makes silver-age superman look like a piker.<br /><br />Vartox is the Super Family's Elder Statesman. You heard it here first.<br /><br />(I wonder if Vartox has a cute girl cousin... he could even transfer his power to) Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721640793198044711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-86902961836728717872015-03-24T08:50:04.973-05:002015-03-24T08:50:04.973-05:00Guest Starring Burt Reynolds as Vartox, Sr.Guest Starring Burt Reynolds as Vartox, Sr.Redforcenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-11904650245537809622015-03-23T09:42:32.152-05:002015-03-23T09:42:32.152-05:00Sweet Baby Rays, this makes me want to watch Super...Sweet Baby Rays, this makes me want to watch Supergirl more than any previous announcement. <br /><br />Please use the Power Girl Vol 2 version of Vartox. <br /><br />Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!

Anybody? <br /><br />It's just so bug-nuts crazy that it moves out of crazy territory and into genius.

I get down on a <i>lot</i> of things in DC's ongoing creative direction, and initially groaned when I heard that Supergirl was the next show. But every single thing they've released about the show has impressed the heck out of me. Yes, that <i>includes</i> being excited about Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant, which are many words I never thought I'd ever use all in the same sentence.<br /><br />Why they don't just hand the entire DCU over to Berlanti and Guggenheim, at this point, I don't know.<br /><br />Mind you, I'd still love to see some diversity in title characters (or even anybody who isn't a spunky civilian sidekick), but since DC's idea of a grand gesture on diversity is still "we made the rebooted alternate-universe version of a B-lister gay" (albeit appreciated), I'll settle for Diggle, Cisco, the Wests, the zombie police captain, and Jimmy Underpants.Johnnoreply@blogger.com
